Susan recently joined the “Batchelor Team” at Esslinger, Wooten and Maxwell‘s Miami beach office. Susan is Nancy’s younger sister, and both were born and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin where the family owned both a real estate company and a full-service marina. Needless to say, they learned a lot about real estate growing up. The also became avid sailing enthusiasts and still love to get out on the water whenever time permits.

After Susan graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor’s Degree in journalism, she succumbed to the lure of the tropical sailing paradise that is south Florida and moved to Miami Beach, where Susan has accumulated years of sales experience as a marine industry entrepreneur.

She is the former president of Florida Yacht Charter & Sales, which she and Nancy founded together back in the 80s. Over the years they added two additional bareboat charter fleet locations, one in Key West and Marsh harbor and the other in the Abacos in the Bahamas. They then sold Florida Yacht & Charter to a group of investors in 2006. Susan currently holds an active yacht broker’s license with Massey Yacht Sales, which means that she is qualified to sell you a waterfront property as well as a yacht to go with it!
